Abstract

A system and method of supporting packet-switched handover of a mobile station (MS) from a GERAN/UTRAN cell to a Generic Access Network (GAN) cell within a GAN. If the MS is within coverage of the GAN cell, the MS registers within the GAN triggering initiation of the packet-switched handover from the GERAN/UTRAN cell to the GAN cell. A preparation phase is then conducted for executing the packet-switched handover. The preparation phase includes identifying the MS context as part of the preparation phase and activating the GA-PSR TC towards the MS. Next, the packet-switched handover is executed, resulting in the MS switching to GAN mode. The MS then begins transferring packets via the GAN cell. The system and method also supports a packet-switched handover from the GAN cell to the GERAN/UTRAN cell.

Background of invention
The present invention relates to communication system.More specifically but say without limitation, the present invention relates to the system and method for supporting that packet switching is switched.
The regulation that packet switching (PS) is switched is included in third generation partner program (3GPP)/GERAN standard.These regulations allow the PS between GPRS/EDGE wireless access network (GERAN) and UMTS Terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) sub-district to switch.The PS switching principle is definition in the 3GPP TS 43.129 among the 3GPP the 6th edition.
3GPP job " UTRA of evolution and UTRAN " (Evolved UTRA andUTRAN) (being respectively E-UTRA and E-UTRAN) has defined Long Term Evolution (LTE), be intended to raise the efficiency,, reduce cost and improve the service that is used for based on the access technology of 3GPP.LTE will use OFDM (OFDM) radiotechnics and use single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) as up link in down link, data rate for downlink is allowed 100Mbps peak-data rates at least, uplink data rate is allowed 50Mbps.Therefore the LTE radio can be operated in different frequency bands, and the deployment in global different regions that may the permission to use different frequency bands is very flexible.
Except that wireless access network (RAN) standardization, 3GPP System Architecture Evolution (SAE) job is carrying out being used for exploitation the evolution core net (CN) of LTE network.The SAE core net is made up of core node, and core node can further be divided into control plane (mobile management entity MME) node and user plane gateways (gateway and packet data network (PDN) gateway) node.In this application, term IAD (AGW) is used to represent gateway and PDN Gateway node and function.In the term of current use, AGW comprise user plane entity (UPE) and insert between (IASA) function of anchor point (Inter-Access Anchor).MME is connected to E-UTRAN Node B (eNodeB) through S1-MME interface, and AGW (that is gateway) is connected to eNodeB through S1-U interface.
At present, the PS handoff procedure promptly is assigned radio resource in the Target cell by utilizing the principle of make-before-break before travelling carriage (MS) moves on to Target cell, allows service disruption few when the controlled cell change of network.In addition, as the location area updating (LAU) that defines among the 3GPP TS24.008 and Routing Area Update (RAU) process during the PS handover execution stage with user plane PS data flow executed in parallel, drop to minimum with the user plane PS flow interruption that helps PS was run between transfer period.
Yet, do not exist at present be used between GERAN/UTRAN and universal access network (GAN) sub-district, GERAN and enhancing UTRAN be (that is, LET) between the sub-district or the regulation that PS switches between LTE and the GAN sub-district.Particularly, do not exist permission between GERAN and the GAN sub-district or between UTRAN and the GAN sub-district or PS switches between LTE and the GAN sub-district system or method.Defined the general access of A and Gb Interface among the 3GPP TS43.318 and 44.318.The vocabulary that is used for the 3GPP standard is also in 3GPP TS 21.905 definition, and also utilization in the following description.
Owing to can not carry out the PS handoff procedure between transfer period to the GAN sub-district or from the sub-district of GAN sub-district, service disruption increases, and by finishing for the first time the required time of LAU and RAU process (or be used for the relevant similar procedure of LTE and SAE, for example tracing section updating (TAU)) in the new sub-district and in new sub-district, establishing the required time of essential radio resource and determine.Carrying out the GAN sub-district or during from the cell change of GAN sub-district, MS also changes under the situation of SGSN, carry out the RAU process mean the relevant information that is used for MS from before (source) SGSN obtain and be forwarded to new current (that is, target) SGSN, this has further increased out of service time.In addition, according to the character of Temporary Block Flow (TBF) establishment process, when travelling carriage (MS) moved in the GERAN sub-district, the radio resource establishment time was a problem.
In addition, owing to do not having operational PS handoff procedure to the GAN sub-district with during the cell change of GAN sub-district, before GAN roaming enters, needs are abandoned the TBF (and the radio access bearer (RAB) in the UTRAN sub-district) (wherein, roam enter hint do not use the cell change process of carrying out under the PS handoff procedure situation) in the GERAN sub-district.After roaming enters, also will need to establish suitable GAN radio resource, general access packet-switched resources (GA-PSR) transmission channel (GA-PSR TC) subsequently, the two (that is, abandon among the GERAN/UTRAN radio resource and in the GAN sub-district radio resource allocated) service disruption that all increase activity PS service run into.If on one of TBF/RAB before the cell change, support speech IP (VoIP), then before roaming enters, discharge TBF/RAB and will force to call once more session initiation protocol (SIP) signaling, cause corresponding delay thus so that after roaming enters new sub-district, set up voip conversation.
Need be supported in the system and method that the PS between GERAN or UTRAN sub-district or LTE sub-district and the GAN sub-district switches, when LAU and RAU process are being carried out, allow to carry out the grouped data transmission and avoid behind cell change, carrying out the delay that produces in the SIP signaling allowing.This particular importance, because just turning to, the GERAN standard (for example supports the VoIP service fully, by confirming the report standard) as minimizing delivery time that reduces stand-by period (Latency Reduction) achievements part and quick affirmation/nothing, this makes avoids other SIP signaling (that is, before the PS service recovery) even more important occurring in new sub-district.
Therefore, it will be favourable having the system and method that PS switches between support GERAN or UTRAN sub-district and the GAN sub-district.The invention provides this type of system and method.
Summary of the invention
On the one hand, the present invention relates to the method for a kind of supports mobile (MS) from switching to the packet switching of and universal access network (GAN) sub-district in GAN compatible with first Web-compatible and first sub-district in first network with GAN.Method determines with MS whether it begins in the GAN sub-district covers.Then, MS registered in GAN complete connection that keeps with first sub-district, triggered the startup of the packet switching switching from first sub-district to the GAN sub-district then.Subsequently, before carrying out the packet switching switching, implement to comprise the preparatory stage of distributing GA-PSRTC in the GAN sub-district.The PS switching can be carried out subsequently, and therefore MS exchanges to the GAN pattern subsequently.MS can transmit grouping through the GAN sub-district subsequently.

Embodiment
The present invention is a system and method for supporting that PS switches between GERAN or UTRAN sub-district and the GAN sub-district.Fig. 1 is the simplified block diagram of telecommunication system in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.Existing mobile network logically is divided into infrastructure core net and Access Network.Basic core network comprises such as mobile switching centre's node such as (MSC) circuit switching, such as general packet radio service support node grouping switching nodes such as (SGSN) and wait other control and/or database node such as attaching position register (HLR).Basic Access Network comprises radio control nodes and radio access node.Radio control nodes can comprise the base station controller (BSC) that is used for GSM (global system for mobile communications) radio net and be used for the radio network controller (RNC) of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) radio net.In addition, radio access node can be base transceiver station (BTS) that is used for the gsm radio network and the Node B that is used for the UMTS radio net.The combination of BSC and BTS is called the base station sub-system (BSS) that is used for the GSM network, and the combination of RNC and Node B is called the radio network sub-system (RNS) that is used for the UMTS network,
With reference to Fig. 1, telecommunication system is included in the travelling carriage 12 of operation in the telecommunication system 10.System comprises BSS 16 and the GERAN sub-district 18 of GERAN 20.Network also comprises UTRAN sub-district 22 and the RNS 24 of UTRAN 26.GAN sub-district 28 and general access network controller (GANC) 30 operates in GAN 32.In addition, telecommunication system comprises SGSN 40.For simplicity's sake, only discuss the relevant assembly of PS handoff procedure, but should be understood that telecommunication system can utilize other assembly.
In first embodiment, carry out from GERAN sub-district 18 or the PS of 22 to GAN sub-districts 28, UTRAN sub-district switches.Travelling carriage carries out one or more grouping data conversations in GERAN sub-district or UTRAN sub-district.The inlet (entry) of the GAN area of coverage that detects GAN sub-district 28 at MS is preceding, and MS is that the measurement report purpose is utilized neighbor cell list information.Then, MS detects existence and the execution GAN enrollment process that GAN covers.MS 12 receives absolute RF channel number (ARFCN) and the base station identity code (BSIC) as the GANC 30 of the correspondence of definition in 3GPP TS 43.318 and 44.318 subsequently, as the part of GAN enrollment process, GANC 30 is each MS store M S context of successfully registering.The MS context comprises the information of being reported by MS between the GAN record time, as MS IP address and MS transmission control protocol (TCP) connection identifier (CID (socket).In addition, international mobile subscriber identity code (IMSI) is as searching the contextual primary identifier of correct MS.
If the ARFCN of the GANC 30 of its GAN registration successful execution is included in the neighbor cell list of current GERAN sub-district 18 or UTRAN sub-district 22, then MS12 begins to send the measurement that is used for the ARFCN corresponding with GAN sub-district 28.MS12 can report the RXLev 63 (RXLev of 63) as definition in 3GPP TS 43.318 and 44.318 subsequently.
Comprise measurement by transmission, can be considered hint MS and support the PS of GAN sub-district 28 to switch corresponding to the ARFCN of GAN sub-district.Therefore, may needn't revise MS wireless access capability (RAC) IE supports the PS of 18 to the GAN sub-districts 28 from the GERAN sub-district to switch to express MS.But comprise corresponding to the transmission of the measurement of the ARFCN of GAN sub-district 28 also instruct MS 12 and wish that the PS that proceeds to corresponding GAN sub-district 28 switches.
If BSS 16 or RNS 24 know that specific ARFCN is corresponding to the GAN sub-district, then MS can send the measurement report that indication is used for the RXLev 63 of this ARFCN to network subsequently, hint that it supports the PS of GAN sub-district 28 to switch (promptly, except that those measurement reports corresponding to the GAN sub-district, it is all measurement reports indication RXLev 63 that the MS that supports the PS of GAN to switch can clearly avoid).Since in this case BSS/RNS know report ARFCN corresponding to the GAN sub-district, therefore, it will know subsequently that PS switches and can be used for realizing cell change, rather than such as send packet cell change sequential scheduling conventional method to MS.If BSS16/RNS 24 does not know specific ARFCN corresponding to the GAN sub-district, then MS sends the measurement report of indicating the RXLev 63 that is used for this ARFCN to network is enough to still hint that MS supports the PS of GAN to switch.Owing to support the MS that the PS of GAN sub-district switches to need only to network transmission measurement report, the RXLev 63 that indication is used for determining serving the ARFCN that is associated with GAN (promptly, MS never indicates the RXLev63 that is used for non-GAN neighbor cell), therefore, this operation can be achieved.In this case, support the BSS/RNS of the PS switching of GAN therefore the MS of report to be considered as indicating the MS of the non-GAN PS switching capability of the RXLev 63 that is used for the GERAN neighbor cell, perhaps be considered as indicating the MS of the GAN PS switching capability of the RXLev 63 that is used for the GAN neighbor cell.Yet, during the available system information of the neighbor cell that is used to report in shortage, but the BSS/RNS concluded/deduced it be the GAN neighbor cell (promptly, because MS gathers corresponding system information between the GAN record time, therefore, BSS/RNS never needs to send the MS system information corresponding to GAN neighbor cell 28).Therefore, in case the ARFCN of concluded/deduced report is corresponding to the GAN sub-district for BSS/RNS, BSS/RNS will know just subsequently that PS switches and can be used for realizing cell change, rather than such as send packet cell change sequential scheduling conventional method to MS.
Alternative, new packet associated control channel (PACCH) message can be sent to BSS 16 from MS 12, perhaps new radio resource control (RRC) message can be sent to RNS24 rather than sends measurement report from MS 12 and switch with the PS that is triggered to the GAN sub-district, wherein, two message all will comprise the ARFCN corresponding to the GAN sub-district.From GERAN sub-district 18 or the PS of 22 to GAN sub-districts 28, UTRAN sub-district switch therefore MS (in GERAN sub-district time) or in the RRC connected mode (in the UTRAN sub-district time), so that the indication based on PACCH/ radio resource control (RRC) message that the PS that provides it to support GAN sub-district 28 for BSS 16/RNS 24 switches packet transfer mode be provided.
Supposing that neighbor list (NL) information in GERAN sub-district 18 or UTRAN sub-district 22 is not indicated exists GAN sub-district 28, but MS has found that when carrying out the GAN registration (safe tunnel (tunnel) has been established in this indication in the GAN sub-district in acceptable GAN sub-district 28, and executed is identified as required), then MS can be by sending packet associated control channel (PACCH) message from redetermination to BSS16 (for example, GAN-SERVICE-AVAILABLE (GAN service available) message) or with similar RRC message send to RNS 24 on the up link DCCH, indication needs to switch to the PS of GAN sub-district 28.PACCH message can provide about the SGSN 40 that is associated with GAN sub-district 28 (for example, with Routing Area Identifier symbol form), Target cell ID, corresponding to the information of the ARFCN of GAN sub-district etc., so that the PS handoff preparation phase can be at the SGSN40 of expection and the GAN sub-district 28 of expection.
MS in packet transfer mode the time transmission of this type of new PACCH message can hint that the PS that MS can proceed to the GAN sub-district switches, and MS wishes that the PS that receives corresponding GAN sub-district 28 switches.Similarly, send just actively under the situation of grouped data with the RRC connected mode in the UTRAN sub-district at MS, needn't revise UE multi-mode/many RAT (wireless access technology) capability information element (IE) and support PS to switch from the UTRAN sub-district to the GAN sub-district to express MS.On the contrary, when MS had the one or more RAB that supports the service of PS territory in the RRC connected mode, it sent new RRC message (indicating it to have the ability to carry out PS switches) to RNS.
Support the BSS (or RNS) of the PS switching of GAN sub-district can start the PS handoff preparation phase basically according to the typical traditional PS switching set-up procedure that is used for situation (UTRAN is to GERAN) between RAT inner case (GERAN is to GERAN) and RAT subsequently.An exception is that GANC30 carries out GA-PSR TC activation in (that is when, MS is still in the GERAN/UTRAN pattern) during the PS handoff preparation phase.In the PS handoff preparation phase, GANC 30 sends GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-REQ (GA-PSR-activation-UTC-request) message and receives GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-ACK (GA-PSR-activation-UTC-affirmation) message to prepare the GA-PSR transmission channel from MS to MS.This triggers when SGSN receives PS handoff request (PSHANDOVER REQUEST) message at GANC.Because IMSI is included in this message all the time, therefore, GANC can discern MS context (establishing), MS IP address and the TCP relevant with the request of PS handoff preparation phase and be connected between the GAN record time, and therefore uses this TCP to connect to correct MS and trigger GA-PSR TC activation.In addition, MS has two independent radio interface, and can use these radio interface while and GERAN or UTRAN and GAN network service.
When the PS that uses new PACCH/RRC message trigger from 22 to GAN sub-districts 28,18/UTRAN sub-district, GERAN sub-district switched, it was alternative to utilize and be applied in another that be used for that GA-PSR TC activates during the PS handoff preparation phase.Particularly, MS12 can be before sending preferred that new PACCH message (on the GERAN radio interface) or new RRC message (on the UTRAN radio interface) is triggered to corresponding GAN sub-district with indication PS switches, to GANC 30 registrations.MS can keep the local side (that is the udp port that use) of GA-PSR TC subsequently and comprise the identifier (for example, udp port) of reservation in it sends to new PACCH message/RRC message of BSS/RNS.Remove a kind of situation exception, BSS 16/RNS24 triggers the PS handoff preparation phase according to existing traditional PS handoff preparation phase subsequently basically.MS is in the area of coverage of GERAN/UTRAN sub-district the time, keep in this locality and be also included within BSS/RNS in new PACCH message/RRC message by MS and send and require PS to switch (PS HANDOVER REQUIRED) message/wireless access network applying portion (RANAP) with the base station sub-system GRPS agreement (BSSGP) that triggers the PS handoff preparation phase to require to redistribute in (Relocation Required) message by the identifier (for example, udp port) that BSS/RNS receives.This message sends to the SGSN that handles GANC 30 from source BSS 16/RNS 24.GANC 30 receives PS handoff request message subsequently, and because IMSI is included in this message all the time, therefore, GANC can discern MS context (establishing) and the MSIP address relevant with the request of PS handoff preparation phase subsequently between the GAN record time.The local reserved identifier (for example, udp port) that is received in new PACCH message/RRC message at first by source BSS 16/RNS24 is also received in PS handoff request message by GANC 30.In this stage, GANC knows the IP address (obtaining from the MS context) and the udp port (receiving in PS handoff request message) that will be used for GA-PSR TC.
In this alternative, do not carry out as mentioned above and activate to the GA-PSR of MS TC, in this next step, the local identifier that GANC also is used for GA-PSRTC by comprising in GAN PS HO COMMAND (PS switching command) message of returning MS during the PS handoff preparation phase, send to MS keeps these local identifiers.GANC comprises GAN PS HO COMMAND message in the PS switching request acknowledgement message that is forwarded to the MS that uses existing preparation phase procedures subsequently.GAN PS HO COMMAND can be the standard P S switching command message that defines as among 3GPP TS 44.060 V6.21.0.
In case MS through GERAN sub-district 18 or the radio interface of UTRAN sub-district 22 receive GAN PS HO COMMAND message, the information that MS just has all needs that are used for GA-PSR TC also can begin to send data in the GAN sub-district.Therefore, usually the indeterminate execution of carrying out through the radio interface of GAN sub-district 28 of GA-PSR TC activation possibility, but after in GAN PS HO COMMAND message, receiving the local identifier that keeps by GANC at MS, source BSS 16/RNS 24 uses PS handoff preparation phase and execution phase process implicit expression to carry out when receiving local reserved identifier (for example, udp port) in new PACCH/RRC message.
To be considered to mainly be as corresponding stages 2 scheme time spent (UTRAN to/from GERAN) (that is, they will be illustrated in the difference of PS switching between two GERAN sub-districts) of the inner PS of the RAT that illustrates being switched PS switches between (GERAN to/from GERAN) or RAT that become but the PS between GERAN or UTRAN sub-district and the GAN sub-district switches.
After the PS handoff preparation phase is finished, by sending to the PS switching command of MS12 in GERAN sub-district 18 or the UTRAN sub-district 22, beginning PS handover execution stage.In fact the switching command that sends to MS in the GERAN/UTRAN sub-district is not included as MS and provides (tunneled) PS switching command that passes through to transmit in the tunnel of the peculiar information of GAN pattern (except that implicit expression GA-PSR TC activation situation as mentioned above, in this case, the PS switching command will be included in the GAN pattern customizing messages that the PS handoff preparation phase sends to source BSS (or source RNS)).On the contrary, when receiving the PS switching command, MS12 only need be considered as it the indication that it will exchange to the GAN pattern and bring into use the GA-PSR transmission channel that has activated generally speaking.In addition, MS does not need collection to be used for this system information of subdistricts before the PS switching command that receives target GAN sub-district 28, and this is because essential system information is obtained during the GAN enrollment process by MS.
The PS that GANC 30 can use several different methods to be determined to GAN switches successful, so that can finish PS handover execution stage (that is, but so that notification source BSS/RNC can discharge local PS resource).In one embodiment, can use such as " GA-PSR-HANDOVER-COMPLETE (GA-PSR-switch finish) " and wait the new GA-PSR signaling message that sends by MS to notify GANC this success conditions.In another embodiment, GANC receives data on the GA-PSR TC that the specific PS that is used for specific PS set up between transfer period.
Fig. 2 is teaching according to the present invention, and the signaling diagram of the PS handoff procedure from the GERAN sub-district to the GAN sub-district is shown.At first, 100, MS transmits grouping in GERAN sub-district 18.Then, GAN registration signaling 102 appears between GANC 30 and MS12.In 104, MS12 provides trigger mechanism to BSS 16 subsequently.Trigger mechanism can be to notify BSS 16MS12 to prepare to switch to any triggering of GAN sub-district 28 as mentioned above.Then, in 106, BSS 16 starts the PS handoff preparation phase by communicating by letter with SGSN 40.In 108, SGSN 40 sends the PS handoff request according to the typical traditional PS switching set-up procedure that is used for situation (UTRAN is to GERAN) between RAT inner case (GERAN is to GERAN) or RAT to GANC 30.An exception of typical case's conventional procedure is that GANC 30 carries out general access packet-switched resources (GA-PSR) transmission channel (GA-PSR TC) activation in (that is when, MS is still in the GERAN/UTRAN pattern) during the PS handoff preparation phase.GANC 30 sends GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-REQ message 110 to MS.MS sends GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-ACK message 112 to confirm the distribution of GA-PSR transmission channel to GANC again during the preparatory stage.GANC 30 sends PS Handover Request Acknowledge 114 to SGSN 40 subsequently.
SGSN 40 sends to BSS 16 subsequently and requires PS switch acknowledgment message 116.The PS switching sends PS switching command message 118 by BSS 16 to MS12 subsequently and carries out.MS sends GA-PSR-to GANC 30 subsequently and switches-finish (GA-PSR-HANDOVER-COMPLETE) message 120, and exchanges to the GAN pattern subsequently in 122.In 124, up link and down link data 28 send and receive with RAU and LAU are parallel through the GAN sub-district.It should be understood that for PS handoff procedure, can utilize identical signaling diagram from the UTRAN sub-district to the GAN sub-district.
Fig. 3 A and 3B are according to teaching of the present invention, illustrate from the flow chart of the PS handoff procedure step of GERAN or UTRAN sub-district.Now with reference to Fig. 1-3 means of interpretation.Method can be used for GERAN sub-district or UTRAN sub-district.Method is from step 200, and in this step, MS12 transmits grouping in GERAN sub-district 18 or UTRAN sub-district 22.Then, in step 202, determine whether MS detects it in the covering of GAN sub-district 28.If determine MS not in the area of coverage of GAN sub-district, then method moves on to step 200, and in this step, MS12 continues to transmit grouping in the GERAN/UTRAN sub-district.
Yet if determine MS in the area of coverage of GAN sub-district 28, method moves on to step 204 from step 202, in this step, carries out the GAN enrollment process between GANC 30 and MS12.In step 206, MS sends PS handover trigger mechanism to BSS 16 or RNS 24.Trigger mechanism can be any mechanism that instruct MS support and the PS that asks the GAN sub-district switch.Trigger mechanism can be measurement and the report RXLev 63 that transmission is used for the ARFCN corresponding with GAN.By sending the measurement comprise the ARFCN corresponding as mentioned above with the GAN sub-district, and the BSS/RNS ability of the character of the sub-district of combine detection report, MS hint MS supports the PS of GAN sub-district to switch.Sending an alternative trigger mechanism measuring (triggering the support that BSS/RNS recognizes that MS switches PS) is from MS new PACCH message/RRC message to be sent to BSS 16/RNS 24.When BSS 16/RNS 24 received triggering, in step 208, BSC/RNS started the PS handoff preparation phase.Preparatory stage is similar to the traditional PS handoff preparation phase.An exception is that GANC 30 carries out general access packet-switched resources (GA-PSR) transmission channel (GA-PSR TC) activation in (that is when, MS is still in the GERAN/UTRAN pattern) during the PS handoff preparation phase.GANC 30 sends GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-REQ message 110 to MS12.MS12 sends GA-PSR-ACTIVATE-UTC-ACK message 112 to confirm the distribution of GA-PSR transmission channel to GANC again during the preparatory stage.GANC 30 sends PS Handover Request Acknowledge 114 to SGSN 40 subsequently.SGSN will require PS switch acknowledgment message 116 to send to BSC (under the situation that UTRAN switches to GAN PS, redistribute order and will send to RNC from SGSN) subsequently.
Method moves on to step 210 subsequently, in this step, by BSC/RNC PS switching command message 118 is sent to MS12 and carries out the PS switching.In step 212, MS12 switches GA-PSR--finishes message 122 and sends to GANC, exchanges to the GAN pattern then.In step 214, up link and down link data 28 send and receive with RAU and LAU are parallel through the GAN sub-district.
PS switching from the GAN sub-district to the GERAN/UTRAN sub-district is similar to and is used for preparation and the execution phase that the inner PS of traditional RAT switches PS switching (GERAN is to UTRAN) (GERAN is to GERAN) and traditional RAT.Yet, have some differences.Between the GAN record time, MS 12 sends the GA-RC register request message that comprises GAN class mark IE to GANC 30, and this IE can revise the PS that can carry out from the GAN sub-district to the GERAN/UTRAN sub-district with instruct MS and switch.In alternative of the present invention, defined the GAN metrical information (that is, being similar to GA-CSR handover information (GA-CSR-HANDOVER INFORMATION) message that is used for the CS switching) of particular type for the PS handoff procedure.If MS sends to GANC with these new informations, then GANC 30 can detect MS12 subsequently and support GAN PS switching.
In addition, at the active any point of GA-PSR transmission channel, GANC 30 can determine that the service of MS in the GERAN/UTRAN sub-district is better, and therefore triggers the PS handoff procedure under the situation that MS 12 supports PS to switch.GANC can be in the GAN pattern when GA-PSR enlivens (GA-PSR-ACTIVE) state, and the metrical information that sends to GANC 30 based on MS12 is determined this triggering.For example, GSNC 30 can send explicit GA-PSR signaling message to MS 12, and when instruct MS should begin to send the measurement report of the information that relevant GERAN/UTRAN sub-district is provided.Alternative, MS 12 can carry out local measurement, and measures the measurement report that sends the information that relevant GERAN/UTRAN sub-district is provided to GANC 30 according to these.
The GA-PSR switching command message can be at the MS that sends to during the execution phase in the GAN sub-district, and because MS needs distinctive mode to determine to exist the PS switching command that the tunnel transmits that passes through of which kind of type in the GA-PSR switching command message, therefore can clearly distinguish the situation that PS switches to GERAN sub-district and UTRAN sub-district subsequently.
Carrying out PS when switching, can provide the target cell system information part of GA-PSR switching command (for example, as) for MS in the PS handover execution stage from the GAN sub-district to the GERAN sub-district.GANC may use RI radio intelligence management (RIM)/network assisted cell change (NACC) process or use the target BS S that is sent by target BS S during the PS handoff preparation phase to source BSS transparent vessel, gathers this system information.
Fig. 4 A and 4B are according to teaching of the present invention, and the flow chart of the step that the PS of support 28 to GERAN sub-districts 18 or UTRAN sub-district 22 from the GAN sub-district switches is shown.Now with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 method of the present invention is described.Method is from step 300, and in this step, MS 12 transmits grouping in GAN sub-district 28.Then, in step 302, the quality of determining current GAN sub-district is worsening, and MS detects MS 12 in the area of coverage of GERAN sub-district or UTRAN sub-district (or both).If determine MS 12 not in the area of coverage of GERAN/UTRAN sub-district, then method moves on to step 300, and in this step, MS 12 continues to transmit grouping as far as possible longways in GAN sub-district 28.
Yet if determine MS12 in the area of coverage of GERAN sub-district or UTRAN sub-district, and the quality of current GAN sub-district worsening, and method moves on to step 306 from step 302, and in this step, MS 12 sends trigger mechanisms to GANC 30.Trigger mechanism can be that instruct MS 12 is supported any mechanism that the PS of GERAN/UTRAN sub-district switches.When GANC 30 received triggering, in step 308, GANC started the PS handoff preparation phase.Method moves on to step 310 subsequently, in this step, by GANC 30 GAN PS switching command message is sent to MS 12 and carries out the PS switching.During the PS handover execution stage, be preferably MS 12 target cell system information (that is, the PS that is used at least from the GAN sub-district to the GERAN sub-district switches) is provided.In step 312, MS 12 exchanges to the GERAN/UTRAN pattern.In step 314, up link and down link data are through GERAN/UTRAN sub-district and RAU and parallel transmission of LAU and reception.
Should understand, though the invention describes the PS that is supported between GAN sub-district and GERAN and the UTRAN sub-district switches, but the present invention also can be used for the telecommunication system of other type, these systems comprise the wireless access network of other type, as advanced mobile phone service (AMPS) system, arrowband AMPS system (NAMPS), total access communication system (TACS), personal digital cellular (PDC) system, U.S.'s digital cellular (USDC) system, code division multiple access (CDMA) system or E-UTRAN system (be also referred to as long evolving system or abbreviate the LTE system as).
